  • Patent number: 6090981
    Abstract: Benzenesulfonylureas and -thioureas of the formula I ##STR1## where R(1) is H or (fluoro)methyl, R(2) is H, Hal or (fluoro)(mercapto)alk(ozy)yl, E is O or S; Y is --[CR(3).sub.2 ].sub.n --, where R(3)=H or alkyl and n=1-4, X is H, Hal or alkyl and Z in Hal, NO.sub.2 or alk(yl)oxy, are described.The compounds I are used for treatment of disturbances in cardiac rhythm and prevention of sudden cardiac death caused by arrhythmia, and can therefore be used as antiarrhythmics.
